How are you guys preparing for the laser shoot?
I haven't started studying yet but I'm pretty sure there's math involved. I hope it's not just random guessing because that wouldn't be very fun...
Also, it's been a while since I've done a study event. Any general tips from people who've done Optics before or similar events? I mostly mained ID/builds so I'm very rusty on the whole studying thing, haha!
anything'll fly if you throw it hard enough

The math is straightforward: angle of incidence = angle of reflection.

The laser is required to be calibrated by the ES so it follows a path down the marked centerline of the apparatus. So in order to hit the target spot, you need to know angle of incidence = angle of reflection, and you need to do some practical geometry.

You can bring premade templates and guides.
